Permanently delete a disconnected screen
Disconnect stops a screen and preserves its record; Delete permanently is available only afterward and removes retained device history.
What you may be seeing
- A disconnected/revoked screen remains listed in Screens and the user wants to remove its retained record.
What usually causes it
- Disconnect is intentionally reversible/auditable state rather than immediate destructive deletion.
Do this
- In Screens, disconnect an active screen first and wait for its card to show revoked/disconnected.
- On that revoked card, choose Delete permanently and confirm Delete forever.
- Do not delete a screen you intend to reconnect with retained history; permanent deletion cannot be undone.
You know it is fixed when
- The revoked screen card disappears and its retained device history is removed.
Worth knowing
- Revoked screens are not automatically purged. They also do not consume the active Free screen slot.
